of that controlling health care costs and going after some other necessary areas of spending such as pentagon spending, you'd really make a dent in the deficit but you don't do it without serious revenue and just raising taxes on the rich is not going to get you very far. >> it is interesting, too, dan. i hate taxes. my property taxes have gone up. even as the value of my house has gone down. sales tax has gone up. no politics seems to know or have the guts to say. since 1980 the median federal income tax rate has dropped by over 50%. we paid 10.5% in 1980 and now with deductions we're the 4.5%. the middle class is not being taxed to death with federal income taxes. they may be getting whacked with other stuff but you'll agree it is not federal intomorrcome tax. most families that earn $100,000 and have four children pay zilch. >> i don't think the answer is to sort of drag them into the swamp with the upper income people who are getting punished. here's one other thing for your viewers. every budget deal that we've had since 1980 where we had grand bargains with taxes on the table, the defic

she's at the pentagon this morning. barbara, what are the biggest issues out of this scandal that we now know has exploded? >> right, soledad. first on capitol hill, the intelligence committees on the house and senate both contend, and quite accurately, that they are supposed to be informed of any crucial event regarding intelligence or national security. they did not know about petraeus. they're calling it a bolt out of the blue. why weren't they informed? that's what they want to know. the hearings that petraeus was supposed to attend this week on the benghazi attacks, now it will be his deputy. will congress subpoena him to get him to come up there and tell what he knows about benghazi and whether he had intelligence that it was, indeed, a terrorist attack early on? and, most critically, perhaps, why wasn't president obama informed about this? by all accounts he did not know until the thursday after the election. there's no indication of a national security breach at this point. but you have to wonder, would somebody

it's not as though the pentagon didn't know about this for 50 minutes. reports have shown that the commander, general hamm, was at the pentagon that day, ordered an aerial drone -- unarmed, maybe they didn't have armed assets available -- but he's looking at any number of things. commanders, critical information requirements, friendly forces, priority intelligence requirements, different triggers in a command center that say, okay, now it's time the tell the commander something more about this. who in his case would be the chairman of the joint chiefs or the secretary of defense. i've got to believe an ambassador under siege fits one of those critical intelligence or information requirements that would mean a notification of the people that can make the call to send even more assets. africom doesn't have much at their disposal at that moment. it should have been done sooner. shannon: we know at some point a personal distress button was signaled from the mission there in benghazi. there were certainly signs that there was an immediate, pressing need. so w
